Someone put a contractor on blast on my local Nextdoor and the guy responded to clarify that 1) he never accepted money 2) worked on site just one day because the cat urine stink was so intense it made him feel sick 3) perhaps should have been clearer about why he wasn't coming back.

"We don't need any of that modern code crap. My old farmhouse from 1910 is still standing strong and it's just boards and nails!" Absolutely, brother, the guy whose house collapsed does not have a Facebook account to weigh in here, but on his behalf I want to say I see you and I believe you.

“True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.”

Working outside has some suck to it but the calorie burn is sick

guys, bluesky is dying. if we don't start getting more likes, a greedy developer will bulldoze the site to put up a parking garage. the only thing that can save it is for a ragtag crew of misfits to put on one last big concert at the community center.

torn between wanting to write an oped to get something off my chest or trying once again to beat Ascension 10 with The Silent in STS2

“Does someone have a more chill way to describe 762,000 African deaths?” “Let’s go with messy.”

Elon Musk and everyone else involved with DOGE is guilty of crimes against humanity.

Client’s washing machine valves were stuck so I hit them with some CLR and PB Blaster and got them working. Asked if they were a Neil Young fan and they said yeah. 🎶 “Don’t let it bring you down, now these valves are turning.” 🎵 Why are they both blue? That is a The Last Guy issue.

It's just not plausible that someone is teleporting into a waffle house because waffle houses are anchored sites of hyperreality. I don't think tarot even works in them. If he was claiming that he spatially displaced into a denny's that'd be worth investigating

I have seen the live CO2 read out on Mauna Loa. It felt like staring down the barrel of a cannon. Another age may recognize the observatory as a wonder of the world. The air over Hawaii is well mixed. A geologic gift that gave us an early warning sign.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

If elected, I promise to be as awful and rude as possible to my political enemies, both privately and publicly.

Poster Bushido Castle Doctrine

Need more followup reporting about the weirdest non-paranormal shit that has gone down at these Waffles Houses.

U of Minnesota has named a new School of Nursing scholarship after Alex Pretti.

The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) is a modern classic. Every time I see it on a streaming service I wonder if it'll get more appreciation over time.

You know whose fault it actually is that bluesky is dying? the reply guys, who consistently let down power users with substandard riffs and slightly off-topic GIFs

Replace the Senate with 100 Horseshoe Crabs

Imagine telling the entire Earth you’re blocking my sun

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

may this be the beginning of something

You’re telling me a shrimp ran this private equity firm?

Would deeply appreciate some Hill reporters asking the senator what he means by "Nuremberg 2.0" in terms of legislation and policy development. What does a truth and reconciliation process look like? @ericmgarcia.bsky.social @sahilkapur.bsky.social @steventdennis.bsky.social

Aw, it feels like just yesterday that all the industry trades were breathlessly telling us that this slop was inevitably going to be the next big thing.

it's pretty well known that seeing the earth from space can give you a whole new Outlook

I don’t hate that a lot of annoying media people complain about Bluesky because they come here and are met by angry pedantic weirdos because that keeps annoying media people out of here so the rest of us can chill. It’s some hidden elf village bullshit, they just met Glumpo the Bluesky welcome orc

Is it I, Lord? No? So we’re good here? You’re good? No no I know you’re good I’m asking are you good. Okay okay thanks. Thanks, Lord.

Getting “sir”ed by teens and “young man”ed by seniors. It’s called the prime of life.

This is the best solo Jeopardy game I’ve found. Free, based on aired programs and you grade yourself. Lot of options for how to play and keeping yourself honest. Apple Arcade had an okay official one too. jcompete.com/stats

to me, personally, this is ideal content

I am a birthright citizen.

At what point do traders start treating the massively full of shit all the time head of state as if he is actually full of shit all the time?

Perfect evolution from George Will and the Reagan campaign simply not understanding the lyrics to Born in the USA.

NEW: @wired.com has ID’d a number of the masked paramilitary agents in the exceedingly violent unit surrounding Greg Bovino that formed the leading edge of the invading force the federal government sent to Chicago last fall; @awinston.bsky.social and @regret.bsky.social have the story.

I have extremely mixed feelings about human space flight missions and try to weigh their material costs against things like the consciousness raising of the Earthrise image from 1968.

Moon’s still haunted.

Has anyone tried blasting Body of an American during oral arguments and throwing some cold ones to Kavanaugh?

The Wawa Boston creme donut has been hitting in precisely the same way for at least 30 years. Incredible gas station trash food consistency.

Not even enough commas for right wingers to treat it like 2A. New levels of bad faith happening on this one.

I tend to agree with Podhorzer on a lot of communications work but seeing senior advisors like him beat their heads against a lot of brick walls pushed me to move on with my career. Elected officials are minimally persuadable without massive outside pressure and primary challenges.

Wrapped up a cabinet install for a laundry room. Lowes cabinets but I had to figure out and make some supports and added the crown to match the customer’s kitchen.

I need a weird ass horror movie to watch. If it’s a good film that’s a bonus, but I’m totally here for interesting efforts too.

This is very well said and demonstrates a lot of basic decency. Extremely low bar other wealthy people should be able to hurdle with ease.

Mr. @coons.senate.gov I am a constituent and this is so up your alley do it

just found out an interview i recorded for a very mainstream radio show/podcast got cut today, for i think speaking a little too transexually about liberation and its relationship to capital. ha ha! happy tdov to moi

x is populated by people who failed 11th-grade english, drove three startups into the ground, make mid-six-figures, and own two cybertrucks. bluesky is full of folks who hold two phds, have won prestigious awards in their field, can't quite consolidate their hold on fulltime work, and ride a bicycle
